I have seen this some time before, when switched from 1.1 to 2.0.5;

Check wether the numlock is active or not. If You have numlock
pressed, xterm and many other clients don't respond to mouse events as
one would expect.

This seems to be a generall X problem. This behaviour is reproducable
on Sun workstations too.
